When Christian McCaffrey gets the ball in space, he can terrorize defenses. That is exactly what he did to the Bills in the first quarter. McCaffrey did what he could on the ground but his most significant plays came when he lined up as a receiver. His average of 14.5 yards per catch is a reminder that he is extremely difficult to bring down once he gets going]]>https://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Christian_Mccaffrey/5268358/panthers-vs-bills-winners-and-losers-for-preseason-week-1

McCaffrey doesn't appear to be dealing with anything serious that could keep him out of practice for an extended period of time, but the Panthers won't force him to practice through an illness Sunday. The second-year running back is expected to see an increase in touches this season after racking up 117 carries and 80 catches as a rookie in 2017, so Carolina's offense needs McCaffrey as healthy as possible for Week 1 and beyond.
